It's not redundant. The optout.h message gets displayed when you start a
render. The pvengine.h one gets shown when PVENGINE loads. That's why there's
two. While I could display the other one, I chose to use a one-liner for the
initial on-load message.

ok, good point. I forgot about cmax101.dll (we didn't have two DLL's in the
previous version). I never noticed it here since I also have cmax101 in my
system32 directory. I'll add a comment to that effect in the readme.

I've pulled the archive offline anyhow because I forgot to remove the
'official' bit from optout.h.
